After a gigantic US and European joint effort, the Hubble Space Telescope (named for renowned astronomer Edwin Hubble) was launched in 1990 and began photographing the Universe with unprecedented detail and resolution. As a testament to Hubble's work cataloging and classifying huge numbers of galaxies in the 1920s, HST has imaged hundreds of thousands of extra-galactic objects, as well as many in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Perhaps the single most astonishing disproof of creationism; light that left galaxies as long as 13.7 Billion years ago combined with HST's technological eyes have brought scientists closer than ever before to understanding the early Universe.

Errata: At 3:00, I included the wrong image. It is not the horsehead portion of the Orion Nebula, but rather a column of the Eagle Nebula (M-16)

  • @handimarta Now, I have challenged you to explain why the Quran is wrong about the chronology of the formation of the Sun and Earth, and why it is wrong about the orbits of the planets. If you do not explain these in your next comment, I will conclude you unable and cease to debate with you further.

  • This made me want to replay mass effect for some reason..

  • smoke a joint and look at the stars

  • @Vislav Haha I agree with you (:

  • @213SEMPERFI

    Probably some creationist, religious retards. I don't see how or why would anyone else than them dislike this.

  • How the fuck could you dislike this?

  • Half photos are wrong credited to Hubble. First one (Andromeda galaxy) and some others taken by AMATEUR astronomers with their own equipment.

  • Unreal Tournament music :D

  • Man just look at all the fancy space parts God created for us to look at! He knew we'd find em :)

  • Think for yourself is simultaneously the best and worst advice ever given.

  • I agree with Dawkins/Hitchens when they say "There's so much majestic beauty to the universe, it's shocking that some people can turn away from that and be inspired instead by the burning bush"
